High School: This satisfies the 1 Credit required in Visual/Lang./Performing Arts. Draw Today (using acrylic paints) uses professional-grade acrylic paints to teach the three dimensions of color-- hue, value and chroma: not just the color wheel, but the complete color globe or sphere. Students learn how to recognize colors within these three dimensions, and then how to mix paints to recreate the desired effect on paper or canvas. Because of the pre-printed aids included in the program, students need not have mastered any of the skills taught in Draw Today--i.e., where to place the right color--prior to studying Paint Today. However, you need to know that this program does not teach the Draw Today skills. If you lack proficiency in drawing, you really do need the separate course before you can expect to achieve independent success in painting. In art school, Paint Today would be known as "Color Concepts." Unlike most students' experience in art school, however, Paint Today leads to visible success in mere hours rather than months (though you should plan to spend days, months or years practicing these concepts before you become a true master.) For students in 5th grade and up.
